Hi guys I wasn't 100% sure where to post this because I am not entirely sure on the cause.
Overnight it seems that my computer has stopped working for absolutely no reason; when I press the power button on my computer absolutely nothing happens. Last night I was gaming and using blender before I went to sleep. I turned the computer off via a normal shutdown, I didn't remove the power or hold down the start button.
I have tried jumping the mainboard power header and also using the motherboard power button with no success. I have removed all peripherals and interchanged my RAM sticks, checked every single cable and connection.
The strange thing is that even though my entire computer is powerless (no lights anywhere) the southbridge is still getting warm... I am utterly clueless here.
-Note: Just burnt my finger touching below the SB heatsink.
Help will be greatly appreciated,
